Notes and quotes from Game 6 on
NBC

The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated
the San Jose Sharks by a score of 3-1 Sunday in Game 6 on NBC to win the 2016
Stanley Cup Final. The win marked Pittsburgh's first Stanley Cup title since
2009. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner
and recorded two assists, including an assist on the eventual game-winner
scored by Kris Letang in the second period.

Four-time Emmy Award-winning
play-by-play commentator Mike "Doc" Emrick, U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame member and
analyst Eddie Olczyk, and Emmy Award-winning "Inside-the-Glass" analyst Pierre
McGuire called Game 6 from SAP Center in San Jose, California. It was the 10th
consecutive year Emrick, Olczyk and McGuire combined to call the Stanley Cup
Final for NBC Sports Group.

"It wasn't easy getting here,
especially the way things started out. ... Everyone has a part in this," Crosby
told McGuire.

"Since I've been there in 1984,
they've always been the greatest fans. We're going to have a little party for
them," Penguins owner and NFL Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux told McGuire of the
Penguins fans.

Kathryn Tappen and Emrick opened
coverage on NBCSN and NBC with statements regarding the tragic events that took
place in Orlando early Sunday morning. In addition, coverage on NBC included a
tribute to Gordie Howe during the first intermission, voiced by Emrick. Click here
